| Research Abstract |
The subjects consisted of 83 female residents who had been continuously investigated. In the latently obese group, the heel bone mineral density and leptin level were significantly higher than in the thin and normal groups, as previously reported, whereas the E2 level was significantly lower. These results suggest that Ca absorption in the intestinal tract is genetically influenced in thin/normal middle-aged females, whereas leptin in adipose cells contributes to the maintenance of the bone mineral density in latently obese/obese middle-aged to elderly females with a high percent body fat.
